SO CAN WE START SPRINT?

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA – WHY?

Define boundaries

Provide values to feature

Shared understanding

Help in derive tests

Help in knowing

when to stop

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

Source:______________ Destination:________________

Time:________________ #Seat available:_____________

Name:_______________ Email:______________________

Phone:_______________

Share Your Ride

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

Feature: Quick Post

As a car owner I want to post my ride with minimum requirement so that anyone can register for it.

Data must be searchable

Ensure only valid data getting saved

Cancel should clear data so user can add new ride

Successful submission will redirect user on home page

DISCUSSION OF ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

If(user==“new”

{

object = user

}

Else

error

We should encourage

employee to update

rides

GHERKIN

Feature – Name of feature

Scenario – Behavior to be developed

Given – Pre-conditions

When – Actions to be performed

Then – Expected Result

And – Use for multiple Given, When & Then

But – Describe exception cases

Scenario Outline – Define multiple scenarios

Examples – Multiple Scenarios

Background – Avoid repeated Given

CAN WE START SPRINT NOW?

Why not? We have testable specification so let’s start

Let’s make a rule for team to have examples for every specification

If examples not available then specification will not get picked up for sprint

Convert examples in test is our first activity

Write enough code to pass those tests

TEST FIRST

Test

Code

Test Again

Refactor

Pass

BEHAVIOR DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT

BDD

Given Scenario

Then Expected Outcome

When Perform Action

LET’S GET STARTED

Write Feature to describe scenario in Gherkin

Eclipse, Java, Cucumber, Selenium, Junit

Create Test Runner class file

Generate Steps file

Write code to pass test

BDD - CHARACTERISTICS

A testable story (it should be the smallest unit that fits in an iteration)

The title should describe an activity

The narrative should include a role, a feature, and a benefit

The scenario title should say what's different

The scenario should be described in terms of Givens, Events, and Outcomes

The givens should define all of, and no more than, the required context

The event should describe the feature
